Fast with a keyboard. Fine without one.

Every shortcut in Savepad is on this page. So is how it works with a screen reader, without a mouse and with motion turned off.

Built to WCAG 2.2 AA

That's the accessibility standard the European Accessibility Act points to. Here's what it means in Savepad.

  • Screen readers

    The grid, the folder tree, dialogs and every viewer have proper roles and labels. We test with VoiceOver and NVDA, and run axe in a real browser before anything ships.

  • No mouse needed

    You can reach everything you can click with Tab, and you can always see where the focus is. Dialogs keep focus inside them and put it back where it was when they close.

  • Reduced motion

    Savepad follows your computer’s reduced motion setting, and there’s a switch in Settings to turn motion off in Savepad only. Nothing autoplays.

  • Contrast

    Text is at least 4.5:1 against its background, the small grey text included.

  • Charts

    Every chart has a table with the same numbers under it, and the Stats chart reads each point out as you step through it with the arrow keys.

  • ⌘ or Ctrl

    Macs show ⌘, Windows and Linux show Ctrl, in the app and on this site. You don’t have to set anything.

FAQs

Can I change the shortcuts?

Not yet. Most of them are the ones Gmail, Linear and GitHub use, so they might already be in your fingers.

Do shortcuts fire while I’m typing?

No. Letter shortcuts wait until you’re out of the text box, so typing a note never saves something by accident.

Is Savepad accessible?

It’s built to WCAG 2.2 AA and checked with a screen reader and axe before anything ships. Something doesn’t work for you? Tell us and it gets fixed.

Do the shortcuts work on Windows?

Yes. Everywhere this page says ⌘, use Ctrl. The app shows you the right one for your computer.
